I feel like this is my most realistic set of predictions yet going off of trends and even still I have no confidence any of these songs will show up in May just because of how wrong I always am. If we get any 3 song weeks though I'll be ecstatic regardless of content.

I definitely agree it's time for the VR songs and maybe some more Drop Mix crossovers, "Bust A Move" and "No Scrubs" come to mind. I love the suggestion of "Selling the Drama" and would add "Iris" as a Live pack week.

Korn's front man Jonathan Davis' solo album is released in May, so perhaps a Korn song could be possible; "Got the Life" or "Here to Stay" would be my choice, with "Blind" being the unicorn. And while on the metal genre, wishful thinking, but it's been a while since we've seen Slipknot dlc either new or in the Rivals challenges*, so I'm going to say "Killpop" to go along with Korn, or of course Disturbed's "Ten Thousand Fists"/"Remember".

For Mother's Day, I would love "Mother" and "Stacy's Mom", I really hope that prediction comes true!

We are severely lacking more Korn tunes in RB. I would even take What It Is, if we're talking about Jonathan Davis solo tracks.

I'm going guess we'll see some artists that got singles in 2016 or 2017, a continuation of 90s tunes, an artists we're missing a huge hit from, new singles from former Rock Band artists, and random forgotten songs from the 60s or 70s... Which is the most sense I can make out of Rock Band trends.

I would buy the crap out of all three of those. Especially After the Rain and The Saga Begins, although I don't think the latter's very likely because of the fact we already have "American Pie."

Wouldn't already having the song Weird Al is parodying on the RB platform make the licensing easier since the artist of the parodied song is apparently okay with their work being used in RB? Or are you thinking more along the lines of Harmonix not wanting to go after parody songs since they wouldn't bring much new to the RB platform instrumentally?

No song on the platform means anything for a different song, actually! Every single song is a different and unique process.

But is it harder to license a cover or a parody of a popular song or is it the same as any other song? People on here always expected it to be harder but HMX never confirmed it and it's something i've always ask myself if it is true or not because we do have originals and covers and some songs only covers.

Every song is a different and unique process. There are no blanket statements whatsoever. You're asking a question without an answer, which is half the reason you've never heard one. The other half being the usual 'no one gets details on the process' part.
